Right then, we can start looking ahead to tomorrow’s game which, because of the early kick off, is just a little over 24 hours away. There’s some early team news, some of it promising, some of it not so much but not that unexpected really. It was slightly worrying to

Time shows us that despite the dusty, oak panelled libraries of Arsenal history, the allusions of grandeur, the Marble Halls, the doorstop sized books with tales of trophy wins, Arsenal have always had an air of comedy about them. Slapstick lurks beneath the chapters of our voluminous encyclopedia. The pages

So that’s it, internationals are over for another calendar year. And it feels … well … it feels like that moment when you’re hanging over the toilet, realise you’ve done all the sick you’re going to do and you need to wash your mouth out to get rid of the

Morning all, if the Schalke game was a vague promise of improvement after United, a little chink of silver lining to our dark, doomy cloud, we need the sun to come out a bit today. A home game against a team we should be looking to take three points from

Morning to you, welcome to another Friday and there’s plenty to get through between now and the end. Starting with some injury updates ahead of tomorrow’s game against Fulham and there’s some vaguely good news. Wojciech Szczesny could return to the squad, but probably not yet the team, provided he

Greetings Gooners. I have returned from Gelsenkirchen a shell of the man that departed London on Monday afternoon. A mere skin and bone casing concealing a river of Weißbier beneath. Damn those affable Germans and their tasty, affordable industrial strength beverages. Ze Germans are a people that get a lot
